Triple-Baffled AN Reservoir:

The triple-baffled AN reservoir is the heart of the Chase Bays power steering kit. The three internal baffles prevent fluid aeration and foaming during aggressive driving, ensuring consistent power steering operation. The baffles also prevent fluid spillover from the reservoir cap, eliminating the messy leaks common with factory E30 power steering systems. The AN design provides secure, leak-free connections.

Eliminates Common E30 Power Steering Issues:

The factory E30 power steering system is notorious for leaks, aeration, and spillover. The rubber hoses crack and leak, the reservoir cap allows spillover during hard cornering, and the system is prone to aeration that causes inconsistent steering feel. The Chase Bays kit eliminates all these issues with quality components designed for performance and reliability.

Braided Stainless Steel Lines:

The braided stainless steel lines provide superior durability compared to factory rubber hoses. The stainless steel braid prevents the lines from expanding under pressure, ensuring consistent power steering feel. The lines resist heat, abrasion, and chemicals, providing long-term reliability even in harsh conditions.

AN Fittings for Leak-Free Connections:

The kit includes premium AN (Army-Navy) fittings and adapters that ensure leak-free, reliable connections. AN fittings are the industry standard for performance fluid systems due to their superior sealing characteristics and durability. The fittings are designed to withstand high pressures and resist vibration loosening.

Designed for E36/E46 Rack Swap:

This kit is specifically designed for E30 M20 engines that have been upgraded with an E36/Z3/E46 steering rack. The E36/E46 rack swap is a popular upgrade for E30 owners seeking improved steering feel and response. The Chase Bays kit provides all the power steering components needed to complete the rack swap with professional results.
